Improving access to justice, together

Each year our pro bono programme provides much needed access to justice for the communities where we live and work. Collectively our lawyers are generating social value in the form of thousands of hours of free legal advice to good causes and individuals.

As a responsible business we believe it's our duty to help those in need when we have the expertise and resources to do so. Our pro bono support aligns with our responsible business focus areas. Projects are selected to provide access to justice for our communities, with specific emphasis on promoting inclusion, supporting the arts, and protecting the environment.

Please note that we do not accept direct requests for legal assistance from individuals. If you need legal assistance, we recommend that you contact your local Law Centre, Legal Advice Clinic or Citizens Advice Bureau.

Hear from our clients

"Taylor Wessing provided vital expertise to which the charity had no access from our trustees or volunteers. It's safe to say that without this, we would not have been able to deliver this important resource for the community, which has proven to be very popular in its first year of opening."

Chris Ferrary | Trustee, Friends of Firs Farm

"As a Community Music Venue, we’re committed to utilising music to drive sustainable, positive social change in our local community. Our partnership with Taylor Wessing provides invaluable support and capacity towards meeting this goal, as we seek to ensure our governance arrangements are robust and best serve us in achieving our mission."

Craig Pennington | Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Future Yard CIC

"I am not exaggerating when I say that I was blown away…I could not have wished for a more thorough or professional legal representative. Without doubt, both [Alex] and Taylor Wessing have left an indelible mark and I am so grateful for all of your help and assistance. So many, many thanks."
